“Be faithful that your authentic power is all you need to truly share your light with the world.”

Most people don’t walk around the tools to process pain and fear, that kind of discomfort. In most cases, it’s unbearable to look at it, feel it, and/or address it. It’s why I’m such a fan of self-help books.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness – changing your thoughts and energy around that person – can lower stress.

I believe that simple, consistent shifts in our thinking and actions can lead to the miraculous in all aspects of our daily lives, including our relationships, finances, bodies, and self-image.

When we function from a place of positive energy, the world around us becomes more positive.

Much of our anxiety and stress comes when we’re focused on fear and disconnected from the voice of our inner guide.

When we function from a fearful, low-level energetic state, our thoughts and energy can literally pollute the world.

True abundance isn’t based on our net worth, it’s based on our self-worth.

I believe it is my duty to share the gifts I have learned. How dare I have the tools for finding serenity and not share them with the world?

Choosing love will bring you great joy and great happiness – that happiness is a choice you make.

I feel very accomplished. It makes me feel great to know that I am impacting lives and of service to the world.

Have a vision but hold it lightly, wear it like a loose garment.

When the masses begin to vibrate with an energy of love, the world will no longer be a container for war, violence, and lies.

You have to be ready to receive help, whether that be through a book, a therapist or counselor, or a doctor of some kind. That willingness can lead you through a door to the other side, and that’s where healing can truly begin.

Even if you’re just making a list of all the things you have to do, putting your pen to paper gets it out of your head. It puts you in this place of release.

Today I no longer need to change the world around me. I just need to change the way I see it.

So much of what holds us back in life are the long-held resentments stemming from childhood.

The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. The culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. It will tell you how to be banker, politician, Indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being.

You can feel when something’s authentic, and you can feel when it’s not: you know when someone’s trying to make the club record, or trying to make the girl record, or trying to make the thug record. It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.

Every authentic poem contributes to the labour of poetry… to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart.

Shamanism has always known this, and shamanism has always, in its most authentic expressions, taught that the path required allies.

In Tibetan, authentic presence is wangthang, which literally means, ‘field of power’… The cause or the virtue that brings about authentic presence is emptying out and letting go. You have to be without clinging.

There is no authentic inner freedom that does not, sooner or later, also affect and change human history.

Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.

I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
